chapter 1 regarding the focus of social psychology: How would individuals’ thoughts, feelings, or behaviors be affected by others? Here are some important
points to keep in mind when you design a social psychological experiment:(1). How would the majority, “normal,” people react? Social psychology studies
“normal people.” Therefore, please don’t focus on criminals, prisoners, or those going to the clinical services. (These would be a good topic for other
classes.)(2). Does psychological social psychology focus on the “immediate reaction” to the situation you created, such as how would most people react
when a little girl gives them candy? For this assignment, please do not design anything that requires an extended period of time. Steps to follow:1. Formulate
